^To what end? If ponzis are gambling, why subjugate them to a subforum? AFAIK, dice games don't have a special sub, neither does poker.

The Gambling board was cluttered with ponzi/HYIP threads. To avoid this, a new board was created. Search "ponzi" in Meta and you can see many threads suggesting to create new board. Number of dice games and/or poker threads aren't high as ponzis/HYIPs were/are.

And I'm still at a loss re. legacy finance forums not having sections dedicated to promotion of ponzis, or ones selling warez. Could you opine on the matter?

But seriously, people are way better off with their own forums. Then you don't have to deal with someone else's rules. We don't have the resources nor desire to cater to the ~~Alt Coin~~ ponzi communities. Bitcointalk offers a basic board for people to make their announcement, find their community members, and then migrate to a place where they can discuss uninterrupted by others.

I am not an expert in this, so I can't comment. Two things I am sure are ponzis/HYIPs is illegal and theymos doesn't do anything silly. There must be some lawys which allows a dedicated board for ponzis/HYIPs in a forum.
